problems with Far Cry game

i have bought the retail version of far cry some time ago and updated as much as i could from the sites to fix some of the problems, but what i have been encountering on every single computer i have is the first level works awesome stunnign graphics and everything not even a bit of slowness in my pc but as soon as i enter the boat to the second level and the game loads i cant even manage to walk 2 steps without my computer going into a lag fit making it seem like im trying to run a this game on a 30 year old pc and i cant seem to understand it my computer meets their standards and its not hte only computer that my game doesnt work on?... my quetion is has anyone else experienced this problem any level works except for that one inside the boat and i really dont like palying the game if i cant play thorugh it all anyone else have this problem

couple other things im wondering if htye can be explained i tried reinstalling the game and it went great untill it asked for disc5 and once i put that in i got the dam windows- wrong volume error over and over so i tried all the discs and it would say number 5 after and then the problem would repeat and the disk aint even got a scratch on it and now even after i cancelled the installation i keep getting hte window-wrong volume error and when i take cds out it says no disk and no matter what will not stop, if ya ask me its becoming a pain in ass

nvm it seems to happen with any of the disks at random and i got no viruses or spyware on my comp either

You have the latest drivers for your videocard right?

If this version of Far cry doesn't work any more then try getting the ad supported from here. Linky.

yup everyhting on my computer works fine i have the retail version and it ran on this computer before but now whenever i try like i said it gives me the windows wrong version error for 1-5 (happens on any one of those) and sometimes i dont run into it but i never get the install complete before it does that

I downloaded the Ad supported game and gave it a try with my
setup. Core2 Xtreme Quad 6700, 2 GB PC2 8500, 2 8800GTX's
and it just crashes to the desktop every 5-10 minutes. I am
using Vista 32-bit Home Premium with all the newest drivers.
It does this at stock speeds. I've got the video settings at
8xAA and 8xAF and when it plays I'm still hovering around 100
fps. I shouldn't have to lower my settings to play this game
and I won't. Hopefully Crysis with be more stable with newer
tech. But I won't buy it till I give the demo a whirl 1st. I'm tired
of buggy games. And I won't buy anymore games thru an online
download. Steam and Half-Life2 cured me of that stupidity. I bought
Half-Life2 thru Steam and now whenever I try to redownload it the
servers are always to busy for my request, It's CD's or DVD's for me.
I'd like to see a BIG BOYCOTT of games that are sold online without
the disc's sent as a bonus. And games that require online activation.
I'll quit bitching now :-)
Here's a few screenies of the Ad-Supported version of Far Cry :-)

What version is the freebie release?

By the looks of Slay's screenshots, it doesn't have HDR enabled!

so uhhh.. it looks like Far Cry.. i guess thats good

Not sure what version the download was. I did apply the
1.4 all in one patch though. It still crashes.

lmao then its pretty sad when ym retail version cant even install and the free version aint that great either

Try not to run SLI, Slay? ;)
